What is best Binding options?
Perfect binding and saddle stitching are popular options:
  • In Perfect binding (also known as softcover binding), pages are folded, gathered, sewn, and glued into a cover to form a squared-off spine. Perfect binding is the preferred binding method for graphic novels, trade paperbacks, softcover children’s books, colouring books, catalogues, literary journals, and quarterly magazines.
  • Saddle-stitching is the least expensive and simplest binding method available. In the saddle stitching process, parent sheets are cut, folded, and stapled together to form a finished booklet. This type of binding is used for single issue comic books, workbooks, shorter catalogues, cookbooks, and booklets of all kinds.
What is Bleed?
After trimming, the bleed ensures that no unprinted edges occur in the final trimmed document. It is very difficult to print exactly to the edge of a sheet of paper/card, so to achieve this, it is necessary to print a slightly larger area than is needed and then trim the paper/card down to the required finished size.

We recommend 3 mm of external bleed on all files. So, if you want a business card to be 90mm x 55mm, your artwork needs to be 96mm x 61mml so that we have a buffer when trimming and you won’t end up with white edges. We recommend 3mm of internal bleed on all files and 5mm on booklets. Colour space should be set at CMYK not RGB.
